    I also don't consider it a choke job by the US women.

    This, feel Morgan, Rapinoe, Wombach should've started the penalties to give them confidence.

    and soccer fades in to obscurity once again. It's a shame, I was looking foward to seeing Rapinoe and Morgan on late night talk shows.

    Should have never taken out Rapinoe; don't care how tired she was. Tobin was playing like a jack ass. Instead of having a reserved aggressiveness, this chick went crazy going into the box alone.

    Fantasic game and happy for Japan.

    Something about U.S. Soccer that causes teams to slow down and hold on after they take leads.


    Nice choke girls.

    Huge upset for Japan, gotta love the underdogs coming back from behind to win.

    USA blew the game twice and completely bombed the shootout. Very tough way to lose a final.

    Yeah exactly. Her replacement gave away possession way too easily.

    Yeah I agree. At least Japan won so i'm not that angry about it. I do feel bad for the women but 2nd isn't that bad. Much better than their male counterparts.

    Penalty kicks are stupid. I mean lets start having a ft shooting contest to decide the game.

    Penalty kicks are exciting as hell. The only time there is a mano-a-mano in soccer.

    ft shooting contest doesn't have someone there to deter your shot. Now that's boring.

    Yup, about time. Matter of fact lets just do away with red and yellow cards to and give every player 6 fouls as well eh?

    I'm more saddened by the fact that we won't see as much Morgan + Solo action as much now

    In the end...it just wasn't meant to be. USA played better but for Japan it looked like destiny.
